  • To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders
    To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders We closed the pool on November 17 as California slipped into the red and then the purple tier designations for COVID spread. These tiers mandated that indoor pools be closed for public use. Humboldt County progressed to the orange tier on April 6th which finally allows facilities such as ours to reopen! The approved Operational Plan has allowed the pool to reopen, but it also has a number of restrictions in place to promote a safe environment for customers and staff. Limited numbers of people in the facility, restrictions on group use, enhanced cleaning procedures are all examples of these restrictions. Aspects of these social distancing measures, additional operational costs and the nearly five‐month closure has created significant operational and financial challenges for the pool. For Season Pass holders we welcome you back to the pool and would like to inform you on how we are going to work with annual passes going forward. For 2020 Passes: 1. We will calculate a credit or a refund, based on you time lost during the most recent closure. This amount will include all days starting on the closure date in November up to the date the pass would have expired in 2021 2. You have three options for this amount. a. We can issue you a credit towards a new 2021 pass. b. A refund can be issued. Once requested a check will be sent to your physical address. This will take up to three weeks to process. c. You can donate this amount if you would like to help the pool through this unprecedented financial challenge.

  • Season 5 Impact Report
    2020 SEASON 5 IMPACT REPORT Dear Riders, Partners, and the Western New York Community, Thank you for taking the time to read about Reddy Bikeshare and our work in 2020, a year like no other, and we welcome you to take a dive into our fi rst-ever annual report. This report demonstrates the growing popularity of bikesharing in WNY and was The SMI and Reddy teams took a group ride to created with the intent to thank our riders, to inform and engage with our community, as the Outer Harbor during golden hour on a late summer’s night, something we do often to bond. well as to recognize our partners that help make everything we do possible. Partnering with Independent Health again in 2020 helped us to elevate the program to more of the community at a time when it was really needed. Together with Independent Health, we are focused on fi nding ways for our communities to get and stay healthy and connected in 2021. Biking is a great way to prioritize your health and well-being. After enduring a challenging year, our team appreciates self-care and well-being more than we ever have. A 222% increase in riders tells us that a rapidly increasing number of Western New Yorkers would agree that Reddy bikes are fun and support overall wellness. As champions of biking, we know that bikes also serve a holistic good – our collective public health, a greener environment, they support small business, and they make people happy. Scientists, health experts, urban planners, small businesses and community associations all agree – biking can be transformational.

  • Empathy in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations By
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1, 1-31 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.01.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Empathy in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling and Aldren Watson Norman Arthur Fischer Kent State University (Retired), Kent, Ohio, USA Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books depict empathy in the animal and animal-human world, and the illustrations of Rudyard’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, and the American artist and prolific illustrator, Aldren Watson, help depict that empathy. Lockwood Kipling was both influence on and interpreter of the Jungle Books, as shown above all in the development from his Beast and Man in India of 1891 through his illustrations for the 1894 Jungle Book, and 1895 Second Jungle Book, to his illustrations that appear in the rearranged stories of The Jungle Book, and Second Jungle Book in the 1897 Scribners Outward Bound (O/B) editions. A variation on Lockwood’s O/B mode of Jungle Books illustrations is found in Watson’s illustrations for the 1948 Doubleday edition, Jungle Books, which is the title I will use throughout.1 Part One details the influence of two animal empathy writers, Lockwood Kipling and Ernest Thompson Seton, on the Jungle Books. Part Two uses recent philosophical studies of empathy in the animal and human relationship. Part Three applies a German philosophy of art history to the new look of the O/B and Doubleday Jungle Books. Part Four interprets selected Jungle Books stories in the light of Parts one, two and three.

  • Susan Steinberg RE: Pilot Project: Residential Eating Disorders
    Behavioral Health Administration Aliya Jones, M.D., MBA Deputy Secretary Behavioral Health 55 Wade Ave., Dix Bldg., SGHC Catonsville, MD 21228 TO: MABHA FROM: Susan Steinberg RE: Pilot Project: Residential Eating Disorders Program for adults and/or minors Date: June 4, 2021 The Behavioral Health Program is issuing a “Request for Proposals” for Residential Eating Disorders Programs to serve adults and/or minors. Background: Over the past couple of years, BHA has received inquiries from entities seeking to establish a residential eating disorder program for children & adolescents and asked for advice regarding how to license such a program. The possible licensure categories are a residential treatment center (RTC), or a therapeutic group home (TGH). RTCs requires a Certificate of Need, a schooling component and maybe a higher level of care that the program did not want to meet. By statute, a TGH must be owned by a non-profit. Also, there is the question of whether a TGH provides the appropriate level of care. OHCQ has a category called Limited Private Inpatient Facility, but by regulations that is limited to adults. Thus, no category of licensure fits the model of care that these private companies wish to establish in Maryland. BHA regulations state that the Department may exempt a program from licensure requirements if the program is a pilot project and the program demonstrates to the Department that it is subject to contractual provisions, conditions of grant awards, or other requirements that are comparable to the regulations in COMAR 10.63. Therefore, to assist these providers, BHA has established a pilot project for residential eating disorder programs.

  • Public Health and Enloe Medical Center to Pilot Myturn with Limited Appointments
    Public Health Administration Danette York, M.P.H., Director Robert Bernstein, M.D., Health Officer 202 Mira Loma Drive T: 530.552.4000 buttecounty.net/publichealth Oroville, California 95965 F: 530.538.2164 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 3, 2021 Public Health and Enloe Medical Center to Pilot MyTurn with Limited Appointments BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. -- As part of a statewide directive, Butte County will begin to test the State’s new MyTurn COVID-19 vaccine scheduling system. Butte County Public Health (BCPH) and Enloe Medical Center will pilot the system during a limited first dose community vaccination clinic for Butte County residents currently eligible for the vaccine, on Friday, March 5 at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, by appointment only. A limited number of appointments will be available for eligible residents ages 65 and older and residents working in the following sectors: emergency services, education & childcare, agriculture, food and healthcare workers. Proof of employment for eligible sectors is required. These appointments will fill up very quickly. BCPH and Enloe are grateful for your patience as they test the MyTurn system, which means scheduling may not run as smoothly as expected. This pilot will help BCPH and Enloe to understand how the system works and to identify any glitches that may arise to ensure the system runs smoothly when larger community clinics are scheduled. This is a very exciting step to streamlining COVID vaccine scheduling for Butte County residents as supply increases and large-scale community vaccination clinics become available. While Friday’s pilot clinic is to test the system, eventually the County will transition away from its current COVID vaccine scheduling (Sign-up Genius) to MyTurn.
